Here are the 10 most important stories about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies today
1. Scammers continue to create fake Elon Musk accounts on Twitter as part of a scam to steal cryptocurrency. The imposters typically hack into an already verified account, and then copy Musk's profile page. They then jump into conversations Musk is having online, adding their offer to giveaway cryptocurrency if users send some of their own first. Twitter has struggled to control these accounts, having them appear – at times – as part of sponsored tweets. –BUSINESS INSIDER
2. Blockchain technology could have a dramatic impact on the voting process if ever implemented.

Blockchain could help stop voters from either voting twice, or from outside parties interfering with voting tallies. In the same way blockchain makes bitcoin impossible to counterfeit, the technology could do the same for votes. –FORBES
